Now imagine how fast the 2004 car would be with the width tires we have today ! ? ! ?

 

I set my DVR to record practice Friday, qualifying Saturday and the race Sunday and I think it was ESPN2.

In video form (assetto corsa). Really puts the cars sizes in perspective. 2022 cars are comically big.

looks like they didn’t trust him to drive the horse himself

 

needs to keep his heels down

 

Ill be there.

 

Is it how Ricciardo's gonna start in the race?
If so, then McLaren seems to be really tight on a budget towards the end of the season.
On the other hand, we see here a completely different chassis, aero, PU, MGU-K, and gearbox - so that couldn't be cheap.

 

Danny brings the fun and personality. Would love for him to have a great weekend.

 

Rolling advert boards now LOL -- https://f1i.com/news/457404-mclaren-to-debut-innovative-dynamic-sponsor-panels-at-us-gp.html

McLaren will debut an innovative new display technology on its MCL36 at this weekend's US Grand Prix that allows for the dynamic digital changing of branding.

The Woking-based outfit has teamed up with British company Seamless Digital that has developed the innovative branding technology.

A dynamic digital panel - clearly visible from onboard cameras - is embedded on either side of the cockpit of McLaren's MCL35, but the display can be changed at will or programmed by the team.

The technology provides a unique way for McLaren to boost its pool of sponsors while offering the latter additional exposure by rotating brands, thus surpassing the constraints imposed by limited real estate on a car's bodywork.

Clearly, as a Brit I think the race should be starting at 5.00 in the morning, but otherwise I am looking forward to it.
